Most routers route completely separately to DHCP assignment, so there's no knowledge that an IP was manually assigned (or claimed in error) rather than DHCP-managed. Thus, no way to drop packets on the floor if they're from the "wrong" device.

And routers aren't involved at all if the packet is going on the same subnet; packets go direct if you're on the same subnet, and only go via the router if you're going upstream.
